Friends and Co-conspirators

I know this is usually comic and film related but I’m going to take you on a little bit of a tangent here.

The past 12 months have not exactly been the best in my life... In fact, I’d go as far as to say they sucked balls, and not in a good way, but they could have been a lot worse. I’ve still got my arms, legs, dashing good looks and razor-sharp wit (Shush, you. Don’t spoil my self-deception…)

I wouldn’t have got through all of it without my mates and there’s a few who really stepped up and went above and beyond in supporting me, helping me get my head straight, making me laugh and giving me a kick up the pants when I needed it.

Rather than do a name’n’shame gushing praise blog post, I’ve opted for this:

I’ve picked a song that reminds me of each of them. If they read this, they’ll be able to tell which one is for them.

If you think one of these songs is for you, then I REALLY hope you picked the right one. Don’t ask me as I’ll be mortified if you’ve gone for the wrong one!

So, in no particular order of how much you guys mean to me, these are for you…

1) There’s no way they won’t know this is for them…

1a) Couldn’t pick one so they got two…

2) Yeah, well, this isn’t the hardest to work out.

3) This is for someone who will probably kill me for thinking of them when I hear this song, but tough.

4) This doesn’t describe the person in question, but it does remind me of singing it with them.

5) There’s one particular moment last year, where this song made me and the mate in question crease up.

Here’s to good mates, who’d help you bury a body and escape to Tijuana if need be. (Don’t go ignoring my calls, I’ve already bought two shovels) You’re awesome.
